Sloan Plumbing Products Help School Save Water

Sloan has helped a New Orleans high school make its restrooms more water and energy efficient by donating plumbing products.

Renovating the restrooms at Benjamin Franklin High School in New Orleans consisted of structural changes as well as cosmetic improvements. Because the building is a completely cement structure, it didn’t easily lend itself to construction changes. As such, there were challenges involved including reworking dropping electric lines and reorganizing some of the plumbing.

The commercial plumbing company donated Sloan SOLIS flushometers and other products to make two bathrooms water-conserving and energy-efficient. By switching from 3.5 gpf to a 1.6 gpf toilet flushometers, the school achieved a 54 percent water reduction and an 83 percent reduction from 1.5 gpf to 0.25 gpf urinal flushometers.

The so-called waterless urinals three sound great saving will not water but I wonder what native environmental aspects these devices have. I mean, saving water isn’t the be all and end all of making a given facility sustainable.
